What Managers Can Do to Mitigate Litigation Risk (And What You Can Do to Help Them)

Managers can make or break a potential litigation situation by the way they interact with employees. Human resources professionals can intercede to prevent risky situations, but only if they know about and focus on the most likely problems to arise. This session is not about the clearly racist, ageist or bullying manager who is easy to spot. The harder issues are those that are not so obvious, such as failure to start an interactive process discussion, overreacting to a social media post or avoiding communications with a difficult employee rather than honestly confronting the employee. This session will focus on practical, not theoretical advice that spots the issues before they fester.

Bonus Update: Michigan implemented a Paid Medical Leave Act at the end of 2018. The Act went into effect on March 29, 2019. This update will assist those who may still have compliance questions and will address the review of the constitutionality of the Act.
